PS4 Stealth Update Unlocks Extra CPU Core

4.4

A new stealth update by Sony for the PS4 has allowed developers to take advantage of a new CPU core. This follows Microsoft unlocking an extra CPU core for the Xbox One, thus allowing for improved performance.

Sony stated that, “Core 6 is now denoted as shared, and for new captures, Razor splits the activity on that core between user and system. Old captures still show core 6 as a system core, as was accurate at the time they were made.”

Both the PS4 and Xbox One are based off of AMD’s Jaguar chipset which features eight cores. It should be interesting to see which direction this goes in, especially with all the concern about both current gen consoles essentially being outdated at launch and being outmatched by PCs down the line.

What are your thoughts on the unlocked CPU core for PS4? Let us know in the comments below and stay tuned for more updates on the effect of this in future games.

Let's be honest, PS4 pisses all over Xbox one

Not really. They're both equal in performance. Honestly neither of them is better than the other

PS4 started off strong and still is strong, xbox one started terrible and is building its way up to the ps4, maybe even past it at a point.

Nah man its about that PC master race

ODST If this update was applied to the Xbone the whole comments section would be celebrating it. This website is so skewed towards sucking Microsoft's dick that it's not even worth posting anything cool or new about the PS4 without it being ridiculed by the ridiculous fanboys here.

There was a similar update applied to the xbox one already. But you are a 100% correct about this site being bias af. This is great in my opinion being a Indie developer it unlocks so much potential. Yes I am a Xbox guy, but I love seeing companies better there console for the consumer. Great Job Microsoft and Sony.

FMWK It is just the battle of the consoles. I think I am going to stick to PC.

I agree with you on this note.
